About Me

Amber
Daulton lives her life by that one belief even though she normally isn’t so
Zen.

As a fan of contemporary, paranormal, and historical romance novels
alike, she can’t get enough of feisty heroines and alpha heroes. Her mind is a
wonderland of adventure, laughter, and awesome ways of kicking a guy when he’s
down. She probably wouldn’t be too sane without her computer and notebooks.
After all, what’s a girl to do when people are jabbering away in her head, and
it’s hard to shut them up? Write! Nothing else works.
